Being in Korea doesn't mean he was an actual Colonel in the military. To make that claim is at best misleading a sleazy and at worst dishonest and fraudulent. A bogus title given based on something other than active military service and given by someone other than the actual US Military is meaningless and to use it as if it's real is an insult to both active and retired military, their families and those who died in service earning those ranks legitimately. If it is established that Rob is using a bogus title to try and gain credibility for his other efforts, then people need to know he's dishonest and sleazy to start with so they can read everything else he says in that context. If, on the other hand, he earned a legitimate rank of Colonel in active military service and retired with that active rank, then that info should also be public. Don't confuse simply serving with claiming a false title. It would be illegal in the US Military to claim you were a rank you didn't earn, with severe legal penalties.

I also gave Rob advanced warning to edit his post and remove the long list of useless links. If he doesn't do it soon, I will edit them myself. He's had advanced warning. We never allow anyone, including sponsors or any other members, to post dozens of links promoting a single website. If he wants to post text from those pages which explain what he does, that's fine within reason. But any abuse of our site, by him or anyone else for that matter, gets edited or deleted. Always has. Always will.
